I've got to lead with The Dark Knight. Just how good can a movie be? Wow – I am truly speechless. It will take a couple of more viewings before I am sure, but my initial gut reaction is that Christopher Nolan's dark and intense second installment in the new Batman franchise should rank up there with my all time favorite – The Empire Strikes Back. And it seems America agrees to the tune of almost $160 million in the opening weekend. Who says movie ticket sales are down? It just proves the Joker thesis – give us crap, we don't show. Give us something we like, and you will be rewarded.
How cool is this? Believe it or not, but the Greatest American Hero is returning! Not as a TV show (even though seeing an aged William Kaat in spandex would be a hoot) but in comic book form. What took so long guys? We'll find out more at next weekend's San Diego Comic Con.
Hope you all did yourselves a favor and caught the debut of the new "Gong Show" on Comedy Central. All I needed to know was that they secured Dave Attell to host, but the "celebrity" panel of judges (Dave Navarro, Andy Dick, and JB Smoove) were icing on the cake. What you missed: A topless acrobatic babe and her evil ugly monkey, midget wrestling, a step show from the illegitimate sons of Rob and Fab, and Andy Dick's penis. For those of you interested, follow this link to see Andy Dick's flaccid surprise to the crew and audience – but be warned, it is definitely not safe for work (NSFW). Sadly, this is not the first time that Andy's tool has shown up on the internet but you pervs will just have to Google that for yourselves.
The Watchmen trailer has dropped. I am still reserving judgment.
If you missed the VH1 Rock Honors: The Who, click here to catch the performances from the comfort of your own computer. And yes, having Tenacious D cover "Squeeze Box" is indeed inspired.
If you caught the Rock Honors show, then you saw Rainn Wilson as the gay love child of Elton John and Tommy. Simply hilarious. So is the trailer for his new movie, The Rocker. E and I will need a baby sitter for this one.
Why, oh why, Stephen Page? If I had a million dollars, I would pay someone to create a time machine and get your butt to rehab before this went down.
And finally, news broke this week about the super secret "The Office" spinoff and, if true, we are pleased – very pleased. It seems that Ms. Will Arnett herself – Amy Poehler – is set to star. Let there be much rejoicing!
